Group 2 - Rhythm
Keegan Musser, Nick Syiek, Collin Jekins, Josh Baker A Definition of Rhythm [Yahoo Answers]
It's the cadence, where the stress falls. For example iambic pentameter:
shall I comPARE thee TO a SUMmer's DAY
(stress the capital letters, including I)
This is the pattern shakespeare used because it mimicks natural speech, but it's unstress, stress, unstress, stress (five times per line.)
It doesn't have to be that formal, but the point is that it should make the poem flow, have rhythm so that it scans well.
Examples of Rythm In Poetry
1. I hear the sound I love, the soung of the hyman voice,
I hear all sounds running together, combined, fused, or following,
Sounds of the city and sounds out of the city, sounds of the day and night,
Talkative young ones to those that like them, the loud laugh of work-people at their meals...
2. Crow in Car Park
From a power pole set in black bitumen,
His jagged bleating reminds me,
Of parched paddocks.
What better place to deliver his dark eulogy,
Than from the cross-beamed comfort,
Of his suburban strainer post. Tim Edwards3.
The Japanese Lunch
The Japanese lunch
Has taken over,
For who can argue
With culinary grace
While the rude
Patron contrasts so
Deliciously with the food. B. W. Shearer
